“Well made film about a difficult subject.”

“Sex in a hurry about sums it up.”

“This film had no redeeming value and hopefully will not be a commercial success.”

“Timely subject could have done so much more.  It was repetitious, tedious and shallow.”

“Very fine pacing in the writing and the shooting.  This was the reality show of babysitters movies.”

“A probable premise, disturbing, explicit and uncomfortable.  Amazing that the men would risk everything.  This is happening with our politicians and our leaders.  Reflects what is happening today.”

“I will never look at a babysitter in quite the same way again!  Disturbing, but realistic, knowing what teenagers are capable of.  Some may be bothered by the content, but teenagers today are scary, given what they are exposed to at such an early age, TV, movies, internet, etc.”

“Now I know why the world is going to hell in a hand basket.  A film about moral bankruptcy with no consequences!  Bullshit ending!  Thanks dad, for saving my life and pulling me back on the right road.  If you hadn’t hired a ‘babysitter’ I’d have gone down the road to perdition.”

“Just another teen sex show/movie.  Nothing new.  Happens in all parts of the U.S.A. (sex for money).  Poor, middle class, upper class, happens everyday.  But she was clean (her room) and organized!  And a teen! Hardly!”

“An interesting film that at times was difficult to watch as Shirley seemed to spin out of control.  The character of Shirley and Brenda was played to perfection by two really good actresses.  Waterson was just perfect.  You could see her thoughts.  She has a great look and of course talent that should take her far!”

“Porno film without explicit sex.”

“John Leguizamo and Katherine Waterson were great together.  The acting and the direction were excellent, but I was very disturbed by the subject.  It was demeaning to teenage boys!”

“When I read the blurb on the website I thought this would be like ‘RISKY BUSINESS’, but this was much darker, more psychologically complex and upsetting.  There’s a lot to think about in this film.”

“This exploits the teenagers of today.”

“Disturbing subject matter.  It would make certain audiences uncomfortable, but very effective since it makes the dark story credible!”

“Dreadful film.  Where is Ed Wood now that we need him?”

“Real situation of people not knowing how to be honest and getting caught up in a bad situation that unfortunately feels so good.”

“A very interesting film, which could have been a sleazy subject but became more a character study.  Shirley was so organized and meticulous and then she came apart, i.e., her room was a mess, as her life became so confused.  This film held my interest throughout and I thought the acting was superb.”

“Ms. Waterson’s character appeared to be a virgin, a young sweet quiet bright girl with a crush.  She was wonderful as was John Leguizamo.   Almost too wonderful I was frightened by this concept and it seems too real, scary real.  The analogy of the ketchup, napkins, etc. that must be in order and if one thing is moved, everything is out of order infinitely.  How true.”

“Katherine Waterson is an excellent actress.  She reminds me of a young Julia Roberts.  She will have a bright future.”

“I was born too soon or was I?  Seriously, this was an interesting drama.  It held my attention.”

“The subject matter was very disturbing.”

“The film addressed a very important ‘real’ issue of today.  Teens, confusion, school…”
